Festivals and Events

There is an opportunity to explore how to mark the start/end of the John Muir Way in Helensburgh with a new artwork, to complement the ground-based John Muir artwork that is being re-sited as part of the Helensburgh Waterfront Development. The existing artwork and the new artwork would be located in and around the new public square on West Clyde Street that is being designed by Hirst Landscape Architects. It will be important to consider how any additional artwork integrates with the existing landscape plans. Would you like to contribute to the process of shaping the brief for the artwork? What kind of artwork would you like to see there? This could include your ideas on how to orientate people who are at the start or end of a significant journey, or you could share your take on the context of the site, on local history, seaside memories, a story about this area right beside Helensburgh’s Clock Tower. Are you interested in workshops on public art? Peter McCaughey and Danielle Banks from art organisation WAVEparticle (the team who worked closely with the community to deliver Helensburgh’s award-winning Outdoor Museum) will present some initial thoughts and the approach for the workshops that will happen later in April. We hope to see you there. Events are free and everyone is welcome!
